On the other three quarters lives his doctor."

When Jesus was here, this particular pyramid was already 3,800 years old.

Jesus was talking about "Damnnnnnn! That's old!"

DV, I know your a vegetarian. (arent you?). Anyway, a little while ago (maybe more like last year) I completed a detox program where you only eat raw foods for 21 days. The only rule was if it didnt grow from the ground its off limits. No concern for quantity, calories, time of day, exercise, etc. I felt the best I had ever felt in all my life. I wish I had the discipline to employ that approach more often.

Yeah Robyn.

My wife has had our family, including the kids, on a primarily raw diet for almost 2 years.

Kids don't even get runny noses, let alone colds.

You should talk to my wife about this program she is doing. She makes a mean Raw Lasagna. Blow your mind.

I have been fasting every Monday in observance of my own spirituality, the fact that there are millions that do it daily – involuntarily, and in an effort to heal myself from the inside out in response to the ravages done to my body daily by the food intake of the rest of the week.

Though I didn’t know what expect I can say I have NEVER felt better in my life. On those Mondays (after I have fretted the night before, always) I find new parts of me that I did not know existed. I can hear my needs loud and clear and feel confident in responding to them in order to help myself grow. On these days I can see my weaknesses without obstruction and feel sure that strengthening them is within my ability.

As a culture we are so misinformed in our use and misuse of food, so addicted to such unhealthy quality and quantities of food that for me, taking this time to fast is showing me how to renew my body and my mind with effects that, if read in a book, would seem like an otherworldly kind of magic.

I've fasted before, but I wish I would do it more. Self-denial is a great way to get in touch with yourself.
